Barcelona accommodation recommendations?

March 14, 2014 3:29 PM

Looking for recommendations for a hotel or B&B in the Barcelona area. We are driving and arriving late May. Need a place with parking ideally north of the city but easy walking distance to the metro. €150 or less. TIA!

We stayed at the Barcelo Sants in late May a couple years ago, which sits on top of the Sants train station, which also includes a metro stop. Rates vary depending on the day and season. If I look at the price for May 23-26, it currently lists at $160 average a night on Hotels.com. There's parking, but you're sharing space with a rental car lot, and it costs around 20 Euro a night. When we got there, we didn't have trouble getting a space, but it looked like there were times when the lot was pretty full.

I also stayed at the Barcelo Sants last year on the recommendation of LionIndex from my own previous AskMeFi. Highly recommended. It was super convenient being directly on top of the train station. It was in walking distance to numerous other metro lines and the hotel itself is space themed! A++ would stay again.
